Moving Day: Tips on Getting Your Stuff Packed

Moving
to a new home
can be intimidating with all of the things that you have to do.
Getting everything packed properly will ensure that moving will be an
easy task and also ensure that your belongings will be safe. Here are
a few tips on how to do just that:

Prepare
early. Being
prepared will make things a lot easier. This means you should have
calculated how many boxes you’ll need and what things will be
packed. Have a priority list of what you need to pack is important
to make sure that the important items won’t get left behind.

Pack
properly. This
means that the stuff you put into boxes must have sufficient padding
to ensure they won’t get broken during the trip. Additionally, the
boxes you use should be tough enough to handle the load you’ll be
putting into them – you don’t want them to suddenly fail
mid-move, dumping your belongings on the street. Moreover, once
you’ve packed everything in, you’ll need to seal the boxes well
with adhesive tape so nothing spills out.

Be
organised. It
would ruin all of your planning and packing if you arrive at your
new home with a complete mess in your hands. Label the boxes clearly
on what’s supposed to be in them and where they’re supposed to
go. Mark the top and bottom, too, so your movers don’t flip
something over. Fragile objects should also be properly labelled.
